Roast my landing page πŸ”₯

Hey everyone, I just deployed my new landing page today. I know it still needs some work, but I would love to hear your feedback.

Is it clear? Do you understand what it is? Does the design suck? Would you do something different?

Don't hold back. I can take it! πŸ€“πŸ”₯

πŸ‘‰ πŸ‘‰ πŸ‘‰ https://feed.so

And if anyone would like an invite code (for yourself or anyone else) just let me know and I'm happy to give it to you πŸ™πŸΌ

I would say the right part of the above the fold is quite empty. It's probably due to the white background that gives that impression. Could you fill that space?

The pink section with the back text is quite hard to read. I would say the same thing as above. The right section is empty. To mitigate that, you could center the quote.

For both "The easiest way get your spot on the web", and "Upcoming features" sections, it feels weird to have the four paragraphs centered and the title aligned to the left. It does not feel right visually In my opinion.

Hope that helps!

Also from the homepage, I didn't immediately understand what your website does.

The Twitter images' resolution looks too low.

@egovzz Totally agree. It was a quick approach to fix a bug, but going to recreate those properly ASAP. Thanks for the feedback!

  • The masthead feels really empty.
  • In a few of the subsequent sections, you mix left align with centre aligned content. Maybe pick one to be consistent, it's a bit visually jarring.
  • The Tweet images lack context. The Forbes one especially since the details of what should be on a webpage according to them is behind a link. But you should maybe explain why these tweets are relevant and why they apply to what Feed is.
  • Black text on dark pink is a bit hard to read. Also, who is David Perell? If you're going to feature his quote, ELI5 (explain like I'm 5) who he is and why the quote is relevant.
  • I'm not personally against using emoji on a homepage but they can't carry the load of your visual communication – they can be used to accent your visuals or text but not to be the central point of non-text-based communication.

The idea of the service seems to have some potential – a CV/resume, personal site, and a Calendly all in one, though.

Viewing from mobile here, Here's what I noticed on the design

  • Your headlines needs tighter line-height. Remember the rule- the larger the size, the smaller the line-height

  • You're kinda tripping the brain off with repetitions of the icons

  • Aid readability by spacing Each feature (icon + headline + description) from another. Use spacing to show relations between each element. The larger the space, the more unrelated they are. Typically, I use the line height to build up my spacing hierarchy

@ToheebDotCom Thanks so much for the feedback. I've already gone and adjusted the line height and spacing as you recommended (not live yet). I appreciate you taking the time to help me! πŸ™πŸΌ

It looks really good, but the alignment is very confusing to me.

  • Before the fold, I'm expecting a demo image on the right hand side, because your title, and everything is pushed to the left. I thought for 10 seconds my internet was slow and the image hasn't loaded
  • The subtitles are aligned left but the content is centered, looks weird to me and made it hard to read
  • Maybe make the navigation bar sticky, higher conversion because users can choose to sign up, at any moment while reading the landing page
  • About the alignment: I think there's nothing wrong with left-align, it just should be unified and fill gaps. It's hard to read longer center-aligned text and I think it's good that the quote is aligned left, it also highlights it from the other content if everything else is aligned center.

@bcye Ah so true. I have been thinking about what to add at the top right -- currently thinking simply a preview of what the product/page could look like (maybe with a laptop/mobile frame)

Great feedback, thanks so much!
